I have noticed in Indiana that most of them only have windows by the front door on either side of it. Just wondering!!

When you build as many Kingdom Halls as we do each year, you save money by not having windows, we do not waste money. The money we save in a year, with the amount of Halls being build, would more than likely pay for a Kingdom Hall.
Many of our Kingdom Halls do have windows, the one I attend, in CA. does not.
Kingdom Hall Construction
During the service year, 2,340 Kingdom Halls were completed around the world. This represents an average of 195 halls per month, or just over 6 per day! Since November 1999 when the construction program in lands with limited resources began, 7,730 Kingdom Halls have been built. In many areas, once a hall is finished, meeting attendance soars and halls are soon filled to capacity.
Last year 2005, 247,631, became Jehovah's Witnesses and everyone of these had to change their minds pertaining to the false teachings that they had been taught, these were people that used their own Bible, King James, etc., 28,384 were from the United States.

I saw the same question posted a few weeks back and I was thinking 'yeah, right'.
Then I walked past the Kingdom Hall in my town and guess what - no windows!
The Masons don't have windows because they are supposed to be a secret society but I think it's because they don't want us to see them wearing lambskin aprons and paddling each others' behinds.
I'm 99% sure the Witnesses don't do that....

Education SHOWS us how to think; Propaganda TELLS you what to think.
I can ask the same question (just wondering) why over half the population in the world have few windows in thier houses? Perhaps there is no need for so many windows? Perhaps too many distractions?
Then again, 'the sly art of propaganda can paralyze thought and prevent clear thinking'

They all either don't have windows or have windows only as decoration on the outside but inside is just the wall and the reason for that is so that there are no distractions so that ppl can concentrate on the discussions.

Most Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses actually *DO* have windows.
If the Halls in your area do NOT have windows, it seems most likely that you live in a high crime area or simply an area wherein religious bigots terrorize peaceful Christian houses of worship.

Stain glass windows are "arrogant " Boy, those JW's are going to be real surprised when they get to heaven and the streets are paved with gold and the gates are made from a single pearl. Oh wait, JW's are not going to heaven...my bad.

I think it's just coincidence. Where I live -- on Staten Island -- the Kingdom Halls have plenty of windows.

We make them as simple as possible to save money. And it also makes them quicker to build. If we made them so huge and fancy like some churches, it'd take forever to complete them all.

They probably don't want you to see what they are doing inside of those buildings. Just a guess, because I am not a JW.

Buildings for free masons are the same way. I think it's to make them more private.
